A reader of my website who is a tax accountant of many years, one who specializes in criminal matters, says he believes the Obamas have a tax problem.
Simply put, the allocation of […]

Barack Obama was recruited to become a community organizer in Chicago twenty years ago. After three years of doing this work, Obama realized that he could have far more influence in Illinois if he pursued a career in politics as had Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington. In furtherance of […]

UPDATE (CNN? My stars! Really?):
(Original) Lannie Davis hits a home run — on everything from the double standard (Obama photo vs. the Obama-ite who wore a misogynistic “Iron My Shirt” t-shirt) to Obama’s, um, flexible words on the war in Iraq (”I don’t know” response to how he would have voted on the war had […]
